Children with behaviour problems take to signing in a way that surprises teachers. When signing is used as part of the curriculum, children participate in the learning process more actively. They’re less inclined to be distracted. Signing gives them something of their own, a sense of their own power. Signing involves them. The children recognise and feel its inherent intelligence. With sign, every child achieves greater levels of learning.
